Verify the existence of storage media

Check the and verify storage media on the system. There is several ways
in order to do this,

Example 01 :-

1. Enter the CMOS settings by pressing the DEL button or any other key that
will allow user to enter the CMOS program.

2. Then, find any option which is related to hardware configuration. Normally,
this will be displayed on the first screen upon entering the CMOS setting.

3. Check whether the hard disk drive is in the computer or not. If the screen
doesn’t display the hard disk, refresh the properties so that it will try
to detect new changes.

4. After determining that the hard disk exists, exit the CMOS setting and
save changes made on the system.

Example 02 :-

To verify the existence of the
IDE disk on the system, type ‘dmesg ¦ grep
^hd’ command at prompt to check installed hard disk. The ‘dmesg’ is program
that used help users to print out the bootup messages and grep program is
used to display only line that begins with ‘hd’ character.

The output from command above, we can verify that the system have two hard
disk install in the system the ‘hda: MAXTOR 6L020J1, ATA DISK drive’ and
‘hdc: WDC WD400BB-00FRA0, ATA DISK drive’ and one CD-ROM drive ‘hdd: ATAPI-CD
ROM-DRIVE-50MAX, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive’
